One of my former employees worked for Kahn. He remembers when 2 wives showed up at his office at the same time. The secretary had to find ways to keep them apart. Luckily his office was on several floors. I have a small photo of Kahn at his last building while it was under construction. One f my friends had Kahn as a professor and he saw Lou at an airport reading an architecture magazine. he asked Lou what he was doing. Lou replied, “Looking for ideas”.

First off, I am very thankful for your documentary. Not enough people are talking about Khan. Second, I just wanted to say that I don’t think Louis Khan was just “finding his style” but rather he was looking to the divine and looking at objective truth in geometries and architecture theory and that made his projects sublime and beautiful. Needless to say, I appreciate your video and am grateful. Thank you!

Love the way how everything was narrated, thought I had to endure another boring documentary for studies but surprisingly I wasn't. I get to remember informations easily because, the presentation was entertaining. Good job!

[pedrodutra]

Loved it. I could feel the love and admiration. Thank you

I really enjoyed this short film about louis kahn's life. I lived in Erdman dormitory for 2 years while I'm college and always wondered about the creator. thank you for telling his unique story.

Your content is like a Fine Wine, it's getting better & better🥂

Great mini-documentary to serve as an introduction to Louis Kahn! Also, fantastic effort in making the video!! I hope the community appreciates how long it takes to produces such a great piece of content! One building that should have been mentioned is the Philip Exeter Library as it is an example of the strong massing and gometrical compositions that influences most of the later buildings that came about

I loved your video and I wanted to see it especially after I completed reading Harriet Patterson's book, 'Our days are like full years". I'm so sorry that she never had a true home and total life with him and her son, Nathanial.

Thank you for sharing about Louis and his work with enthusiasm & passion, a tragic end, but a reminder that one's work has the power to move and capture emotions, even after the body departs.

My favourite L.K. project is the Phillips Exeter Academy Library.
Simply breathtaking.👌

[Bronzeagleye]

I believe the Pennsylvania Station you show was long gone when Louis I Kahn died. He was to give a lecture in a class on urban architecture I was taking, and instead Vincent Scully gave one of the most electrifying lectures I have ever heard as a memorial to Kahn.
